During Bracken pulling at RSPB Inversnaid 07850 214 Loch Lomond - Inversnaid RSPB warden Fraser Lamont pulling Bracken (Pteridium aquilinum) at RSPB Inversnaid on Loch Lomond, in order to open up the ground to encourage regeneration of the native deciduous woodland. This is preferable to using weedkiller in an area of importance for nature conservation. Bracken will regrow, and will be pulled again the following year. By the third pulling, as much reduction of the Bracken will have occurred as if weedkiller had been used, and the environment will not have been polluted. This picture showns the process of Bracken pulling in action. Midge head nets are a necessity for this activity. You can see midges against Fraser's jacket! 10 June 2016
